La Palazzetta del Vescovo

This complex, which also includes two junior suites and seven guestrooms, dates back to the early 17C and was commissioned by the Church as a stopping off point for travellers on their way to Rome. For many years now, the restaurant has been run by a Venetian family with twin brothers (both highly experienced) working in the kitchen and a third brother, a sommelier, at the helm in the dining room. The cuisine is inspired by local and Venetian traditions, with a modern approach to the combinations of flavours (including home-grown herbs) and to the presentation of its delicious, generous dishes

This restaurant occupying an elegant villa in a panoramic location with views of Todi and the surrounding countryside serves modern cuisine with its roots in Umbrian tradition. The extra-virgin olive oil comes from directly from the estate, as does some of the wine; there’s also an interesting selection of champagnes. Our inspector recommends the roast suckling pig accompanied by rosemary-flavoured potatoes, as well as the hazelnut cream, yoghurt sorbet and warm chocolate foam dessert. Quiet, comfortable guestrooms complete the picture.

Upon arrival, welcomed by son Luca, weather permitting, treat yourself to a pause on the lawn facing the lake before entering and immersing yourself in the elegance of the dining rooms. You’ll begin in the rock room for the welcome, aperitif, and dish selection, then move to the refined service room, a masterful mix of diverse elements combined with open kitchens framed like paintings. Recently, a new à la carte selection method was introduced, allowing each diner to choose at least two dishes from the Departures and Arrivals sections (excluding Sweet Stops). Alternatively, you can opt for one

Just a few tables and spectacular views of Lake Corbara characterise this restaurant, which has been run by the same family since 1964. The delicious cuisine is regional in flavour, showcasing home-cooked recipes and typical Sunday favourites yet with a contemporary twist that incorporates plenty of intense flavours.

Situated in the old medieval village of Gualdo Cattaneo, amid the gentle valleys not far from Foligno, Il Grottino is the perfect choice for anyone keen to sample the authentic flavours of Umbrian cuisine. Here, truffles and zero-km produce take pride of place on the menu, with a particular focus on meat which is carefully cooked on the open-view barbecue grill. Alongside locally sourced produce, you’ll also find a choice of carefully selected Prussian beef. Comfortable and welcoming guestrooms complete the picture.
